Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. Pat cranberries dry with paper towels. Combine with 2 tablespoons flour in a small bowl and toss until coated.

  3. Chop up butter and marzipan and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add sugar and blend until fairly smooth, scraping the sides as needed to get it all mixed. Mix in almond and vanilla extracts. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Mix in 1/2 cup flour just briefly until incorporated. Mix in cranberries.

  4. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
